Buying new hardware

[gagnakureki]

Hi,
I have been thinking about getting a new PC to run my PT10 setup. (version 10.3.5)
Found this: http://www.kisildalur.is/?p=2&id=2329

Would you recommend this hardware?

Sincerely
G

What language is this in? I'm having to venture a few guesses. Needs one more hard drive minimum, and not sure about that motherboard.
Integrated graphics, or a dedicated graphics card?
Honestly, you're better off browsing thru the numerous threads of hand-built machines, and just build your own. In my humble opinion, anyway.

100% agree with the above post (sw rec) (Iceland language isn't universal and that is hard to decipher)

If you are buying a new machine get something that is tried and tested and works with PT. There are tons of working configs here on the forums and a quick search will reveal several great configurations that runs PT very well

1400 USD sounds very expensive for that machine and I bet you will find something you know works for less money.
Do a search here and look into what other members use and take notes and ask here.

I hope you find something that works for your budget and needs

Best Regards
Chris

Hi guys,
I apologize for the Icelandic language there. The machine comes with a SSD drive which I was gonna run the OS on. I already have a 1TB SATA drive for my music work.

The graphics card is built into the processor as far as I understand. (Intel HD 4600 graphics)

There are few other companies here who sell hardware but I usually try to do business with this company because they are reliable people. :)

I know 1400USD is very expensive but that's just the reality we live with here in Iceland, things are filthy expensive. Even if I import the machine from abroad
it will be expensive because of high customs.

Well the specs are pretty nice but integrated graphics is Not good as PT have issues with that.

Agreed...for that amount of money, you could "roll your own" and go back to work with a proven configuration. Integrated graphics is indeed a show-stopper with Pro Tools.
